HOPEWELL — Hopewell is a soft, red winter wheat developed by the Ohio Agriculture Re-search and Development Center. It is beardless with exceptional standability and high yields. It has red chaff at maturity. Hopewell is moderate-

ly resistant to powdery mildew and glume blotch. It carries no resistance for Hessian fly and is not resistant to leaf rust. Hopewell is resistant to wheat yellow mosaic.

Hopewell is a U.S. Plant Protected Variety (PVPA 1994). Seed of this variety can only be sold as a class of certified seed.

KASKASKIA — Kaskaskia is an awned, white chaffed, medium height soft red winter wheat variety released by the University of Il-linois Agricultural Experiment Station. Kaskakia

has high yields and test weight. Kaskaskia has very good winter hardiness. It is moderately resistant to soil-borne wheat mosaic virus and wheat spindle streak mosaic virus. Kaskakia is resistant to some races of leaf rust and has a moderate level of tolerance to head scab.

Kaskaskia is susceptible to stem rust, powdery mildew, biotypes B, C, D, E, GP and L of the Hessian fly. It has not been evaluated with other Hessian fly biotypes.
